Live, Work, and Play in Durham

Durham is one of the three "points" of the Research Triangle region and the county seat of Durham County, though a portion of the community extends into Wake County. Durham has the distinction of having a name recognition-boost from two historic properties. "Bull Durham" was a brand of tobacco produced in the late 19th and early 20th century, and a movie of the same name in the 1980s highlighted the area's minor league baseball heritage.

Today, Durham residents appreciate the city's unique history while celebrating its modern growth and development. Let us introduce you to the area.
